Can see my rib cage - how to stop this?

Im eating alot, but I can still see my rib cage (just the the sides of my pecs). Will this go away if I keep on eating loads, or is there an excercise to build the muscle in this area?

Im a newbie so please be gentle.

Ive just researched it and its the "Serratus Anterior" im looking to build up. Anyone know any excercises that are good for this? I don't like doing push ups very much (i just find em boring and hard, lol).

I have the same problem, I hate being able to see my ribs because when I stick my chest out, my ribs come before my chest muscles. The only cure as far as I know is to build your chest up more, and also your serratus anterior, but there aren't THAT many exercises that focus on your serratus because it gets used in quite a few lifts. Just keep eating, lifting, focus on your chest a little more, and your ribs should be reduced a bit from view. Otherwise, it ALL has to do with genetics, and your bones aren't gonna move anywhere. Good luck dude

Hmm, i dont think you have to worry to much. Im a hardgainer and i had the same problem when i started. Except you could see more than just a few ribs. All you need to do is keep lifting like you normally would. Make sure you eat enough in order to fuel your new muscle growth and eventually the new pounds your packing on will cover up those ribs. Just give it time bud.

Blubbo: What are they doing?
Momo the Glutton: Getting ready for birthday party! They are always having birthday party!
Blubbo: Ooooh, let's have a bithday party too! Blubbo wants birthday party!
Momo the Glutton: Impossible, bubblehead!
Blubbo: B-b-b-but why?
Momo the Glutton: Because Blubs have no birthday! You have to have birthday to have birthday party!
Blubbo: Why Blubs have no birthday?
Momo the Glutton: Because Blubs were never born. You have to be born to have a birthday, bubblehead! Besides, who'd ever invite a Blub to a birthday party? You're ugly, bumbling, useless creatures who don't even taste good! If you didn't have such a disgusting taste Momo would have eaten you long ago.

Hey there is an old wrestling workout that specifically excersices those muscles near your ribs....its hard to explain bear with me.....you take a dumbell and lay on a bench like you are doing the chest pull overs(head on 1 side...rest of body on other...)and as you pull over do sort of a crunch....it is targeting and isolating the specific muscle in your ribcage and if you do it correctly you will feel the burn.It will start working very fast because the muscles have never been isolated fully before(im assuming)it takes a few weeks to really get the movement correct but once you do you will know it.

Best exercise for serratus

I've done some research on this and have found the following exercises to be best. A study using EMG has found that an exercise called the "push-up plus" works them the best. It is the only isolation move for them. Get into a push-up position and lock your arma straight. Slowly move your body up and down without bending your arms. You can add weight by putting a backpack with weights on after you get the movement down. The second best thing is doing DB Bench presses. At the top of the movement try to push the weight towards the ceiling. You'll only move them a few inches, but thats all you need. The serratus doesn't have a large range of motion. Hope this helped.
